1、Designation: D6121 15Standard Test Method forEvaluation of Load-Carrying Capacity of Lubricants UnderConditions of Low Speed and High Torque Used for FinalHypoid Drive Axles1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6121; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year

2、 oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis test method is written for use by laboratories that

3、 use the portions of the test method that refertoASTM Test Monitoring Center (TMC) services (see AnnexA1). Laboratories that choose not to usethe TMC services may simply disregard these portions.The TMC provides reference oils, and engineering and statistical services to laboratories that desireto p

4、roduce test results that are statistically similar to those produced by laboratories previouslycalibrated by the TMC.In general, the Test Purchaser decides if a calibrated test stand is to be used. Organizations such astheAmerican Chemistry Council require that a laboratory utilize the TMC services

5、as part of their testregistration process. In addition, the American Petroleum Institute and the Gear Lubricant ReviewCommittee of the Lubricant Review Institute (SAE International) require that a laboratory use theTMC services in seeking qualification of oils against their specifications.NOTE 1The

6、advantage of using the TMC services to calibrate test stands is that the test laboratory (and hence theTest Purchaser) has an assurance that the test stand was operating at the proper level of test severity. It should also beborne in mind that results obtained in a non calibrated test stand may not

7、be the same as those obtained in a test standparticipating in the ASTM TMC services process.1. Scope*1.1 This test method is commonly referred to as the L-37test.2This test method covers a test procedure for evaluatingthe load-carrying, wear, and extreme pressure properties of agear lubricant in a h

8、ypoid axle under conditions of low-speed,high-torque operation.1.2 This test method also provides for the running of the lowaxle temperature (Canadian) L-37 test. The procedure for thelow axle temperature (Canadian) L-37 test is identical to thestandard L-37 test with the exceptions of the items spe

9、cificallylisted in Annex A9. The procedure modifications listed inAnnex A9 refer to the corresponding section of the standardL-37 test method.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are prov

10、ided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3.1 ExceptionsIn Table A12.1, the values stated in SIunits are to be regarded as standard. Also, no SI unit isprovided where there is not a direct SI equivalent.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any,

11、 associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific warninginformation is given in Sections 4 and 7.1This test method is under the jurisd
